Jeanette Makes a Healthy “Black Licorice”

GreenSmoothieGirl reader Jeanette shared this experience and a recipe to go with it.

My kids asked me, “What is that kid eating?” I told them it was licorice, and then I went home and created it for them.  This is what I came up with and it is SO GOOD! You’ll never want that other stuff that we all grew up eating.
